Hey, you're right, GG. This is fun. Woefully unproductive, but I guess that comes with the territory, aye?

I don't understand what you mean by this. Are you saying that you don't want to discuss a thought experiment concerning those with emotional and cognitive disabilities and issues, because it pertains to players of other MMO's? That makes no sense, please explain what you mean. Also answering the question would be nice.

Dreams are created through activity of the nervous system which is formed from cells, which are guided by genetics. A human adult has upward of about 100,000,000,000 neurons. Dreams are had durring rem sleep where certain neurons are more active, while others are not. So a dreams would "have" somewhere less than 100,000,000,000 cells.

To be honest though thats as stupid way of putting it, as the cells form the body, which acts based on stimuli. DNA causes stimuli based on stored information causing the body to act in specific ways, and can be independant of environmental stimuli. Environmental effects cause stimuli that reach our senses which can cause action. That action itself, can be influenced by genetic stimuli released as a cause of the environment.

Though thats an incredibly simple way of putting it that doesn't to justice to the actual workings, and is only intended to illustrate process.

Well, if they want to be nice and healthy, yes!

Numerous brain compounds. It would be hard to replicate human behavior, but far from impossible with enough technology. Specifically, they would need a super detailed model of a human brain and how it works, and current understanding is not close to that.

Youinsult nerds and call an easily imaginable scenario a fantasy.

To top it off, you reveal your reason for believing human AI impossible to be souls. How can you call them obsessed by fantasy after that?

Any brain function can be explained, not completely understood, but at least explained, by physical processes. If souls existed, then explain Phineas Gage or any such case. Did his soul just change due to a railroad spike? Even if we take souls to be a matter of opinion, you can't simultaneously claim the validity of belief in an idea for which there is no evidence, then insult those who predict AI without such belief for their at least as valid opinion.

GG only answers questions that she can shrug off with glib, superficial remarks. Any question that requires any sort of depth or serious response will be ignored as if it was never asked. It's even more obvious in this thread than usual.

It was a joke about people who play other MMOs instead of CoH

Gently at first, but then with increasing heat and passion?

No. I rock'n'roll hard.

Sorry dear, life isnt one of those fanfics you read

My Immortal?
Or would that be a bit too highbrow? <.<

NEED MOAR SIGNATURE ROOM *rage*

I have no problem with that one. Consider these characters:

A smuggler and gun runner. He's got exactly two good friends and he's committed several crimes against the government in place. He doesn't do practically anything unless he's paid, and if he gets paid to go and rescue someone, why the hell not? He's certainly well-equipped enough to do it. Also, eyewitness accounts indicate that he's committed preemptive murder to save his own skin. Yeah, that's a Rogue. Oh, and he's also risked his neck with NO offer of reward to save someone else's bacon at least once.

A bounty hunter who's famous for being a stone-cold badass, and like the smuggler, getting the job done. However, while he's outright feared to some, to others he's a bit of a folk hero. In spite of his stone-cold-badass reputation, he has spared some marks... but only the ones against which he had personal grudges, not ones for whom he was hired. Obviously, as a bounty hunter, he's apprehended dangerous criminals as a portion of his jobs - such is not solely the domain of a hero. Sounds like a Rogue to me too, given the sparing-personal-grudges aspect; that's not compatible with a vigilante. Also, he works among exceedingly seedy folk. As for "great schemes," he doesn't work that way. Not every Rogue has to.

A pirate. Flat-out a pirate, undeniably a criminal in the robbing-and-murdering for personal gain sense. Cowardly and craven, when he can't run away he fights dirty. Also a protagonist and a genuinely sympathetic character, in the "hero party" because TREASURE AND WENCHES! Rogue all over. Gets caught up in something greater, fights for the greater good, and never stops being a Rogue. Great schemes? Yeah, that might be dangerous. Saving this other guy is less likely to get him killed, and still nets him some nice gold, so why not?


In case you didn't recognize the characters, they are Han Solo, Boba Fett, and Jack Sparrow. "Abandoning a great scheme in order to save someone's ***" hasn't been my impression of... well, any of the Rogue missions I've seen, but if they do exist, they fit right in as part of the hero-ward end of the Rogue continuum.

It works for me.

Off the top of my head, there's one mission that has you save Scrapyarder leaders from Arachnos, one mission that has you find a cure for a mobster and one mission which has you save a wealthy man from the Family. I don't recall seeing a single mission to save anything in any of the vigilante tips I've seen.

First one of your incessant troll posts that actually got to me. Good job.

Care to explain how humans are "Higher" given the numerous recorded examples of other species exhibiting altruism, gratitude, and love?

I wasn't talking about Vigilante tips anyway.
